Geng Xingshuang didn't take it seriously. Although her father was not very shrewd, he was cautious. Although her third uncle had a more violent personality, he was also a sensible person. In these years, she had never heard of him causing any trouble outside.
"Mom, if you don't want dad to go out, just tell him directly. Even if you don't want dad to go out, he won't dare to disobey you."
generator All with a smiling face.
I heard from Geng Xingchen that although the third uncle is more tough in front of the third aunt than his father is in front of his mother, the third aunt will make insinuations from time to time. The third uncle is a straight man, and he is not afraid of others arguing with him face to face. Arguing, or even getting started, he was most afraid of this kind of roundabout innuendo. He understood somewhat but not completely, so the third uncle was also very anxious recently. He even had two quarrels with the third aunt because of this, but every time After the first quarrel, the third aunt would calm down for half a day to a day, and then return to her old ways.
Geng Xingchen sighed when she said this, and even hoped that her father would go to Aunt Ji's place more recently, so that she could calm down a little.
Therefore, Geng Xingshuang thought that these were two men who had no place to go after being scolded by their wives at home, and they consciously hid together, but little did they know that her father and third uncle would give her a "surprise" soon.
The day before Mingshang Pavilion opened, both Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan went to the shop for final inspection. Geng Xingchen also came. She mainly looked at the embroidered shoes.
"Is this the style drawn by the painter Yang Liulang sent?"
Walking to a wardrobe, Zhu Yan pointed to the blue plain Hunan skirt hanging inside, with only some simple ripples embroidered on the neckline and skirt.
Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Yes, Sister Shu painted the painting, and Sister Xu embroidered the flowers."
"Embroidery? Where are the flowers?"
Zhu Yan took a closer look and found that all the embroidery patterns on this set of clothes contained nothing but ripples composed of simple lines.
Geng Xingshuang smiled slightly and reached out to take out the clothes. Then she shook her hand slightly, and the clothes floated slightly in her hands.
Zhu Yan's eyes widened, and so did Xiaofeng and Yingshui beside her.
"This... is a pond, and there are lotus flowers?"
Zhu Yan is incredible.
It turns out that there are only a few motionless ripples at the hem of the skirt when it is still, which looks extremely ordinary. But if it moves, the ripples seem to come alive, just like the wind blowing on the pond water, the water ripples, and even floats in the rippling pond water. There are a few small water lilies.
"Sister Shu's design is good and her painting skills are good. Sister Xu's embroidery skills are even better. In fact, there are not many things that really need to be embroidered on this dress, less than many clothes. The ability to achieve such an effect is the result of both painting and embroidery skills." Perfect fit.”
Geng Xingshuang was also surprised when they first met, but now she has calmed down.
"They must stay."
"Brother Yang Liu has paid them a year's salary in advance. If they do well, we will give them additional rewards."
Geng Xingshuang naturally wanted to keep the person, but he couldn't force him to stay, he had to make the person stay willingly.
"One year is enough for us to perform."
Zhu Yan is very confident and she is very good at attacking the mind.
The next day, the eighth day of April, was a good time for spring flowers to bloom, and it was also the day when Mingshang Pavilion on Chaoxing Street opened.
Early in the morning, the waiters and servants in the shop opened the door. They were wearing the same grass-green spring clothes, with joyful smiles on their faces. They were either standing on both sides of the shop outside, or standing at the counter. Or guiding at the stairs, each performing his or her duties.
As the owners of Mingshang Pavilion, Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan came to the store together at the right time.
The mothers of the two owners, Mrs. Ruan and Princess Shanning, were naturally worried about their daughter presiding over such a big event alone. After all, many noble ladies were invited to attend the opening ceremony, so they came with their daughters.
However, the two mothers were open-minded enough. Although they came, they did not say much about the affairs in the shop. They just sat in the private room next to them to drink tea and chat, and from time to time asked the maids to check out what was going on outside.
As time went by, the guests gradually came. There was Zeng Hui, the second grandma of the Yang family invited by Geng Xingshuang. She was also accompanied by Yang Fu, the third girl from Yang. Geng Xingshuang was slightly startled when he saw her, and Yang Fu gave her a slight blessing. , smiled and said: "Congratulations to Sister Shuang, I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous journey!"
Geng Xingshuang returned the gift, "Borrow Sister Fu's good words!"
There is a tacit understanding between the two that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
In the uncle's house, mother and daughter Jiang and Geng Xingchen arrived very early. The second roommate, Geng Xingshuang, did not send a message. However, when greeting Mrs. Bo, Mrs. Yao asked about it. She told the opening time, but did not invite her by the way. they.
But today, Yao still came, and beside her... was Geng Xingyu.
"Huh? The second aunt came with the fifth sister!"
Geng Xingchen couldn't understand this combination, and Geng Xingshuang couldn't understand it either. However, she was very busy today and didn't have the time or energy to wonder about it, so she put it aside and ignored it.
Then came Xu Lianyang. She was supposed to come earlier, but a temporary patient came in. It was a trauma that her grandfather couldn't handle alone, so she was delayed. Then Jiang Xuefu and her mother Wang came, and before. The shopkeepers from Jinxiufang, Liuji Clothing Store, Linglong Pavilion and Xiaochun Building, which Geng Xingshuang supplies to, are indeed here to congratulate them, but they are also here to do business.
Over the past year or so, Geng Xingshuang's consignment of clothes has led to the sale of the ready-made clothes made by their shop much better than before.
Most of them are wives who value the women's clothes on consignment in the shop and buy them for themselves or their daughters at home, and then they also buy one for their husbands and sons. Geng Xingshuang and others only make women's clothes, and those wives only buy men's clothes. You can buy it from their store.
In the past two months, because Geng Xingshuang was preparing to open a shop, there were far fewer ready-made clothes for them, and many customers came to ask.
They came to the door today, and they were not the only ones who came. They came with money in their arms, so they had to take some sets of clothes back to the town store.
Then there is aunt Gu and cousin Fan.
Geng Xingshuang welcomed her aunt and cousin and asked them to talk to her mother Ruan.
Geng Xingshuang did not invite many people, and his status was not high, but the status of the guests who came because of Zhu Yan were all very valuable.
The reason why I said I came because of Zhu Yan is because Zhu Yan didn't invite so many people at all. She only invited the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, her own grandmother, sister-in-law, cousin Zhu Ni, and her maternal grandfather's family. Aunts, cousins, and cousins, but among the ladies who are coming now, there are civil servant wives, such as the wife of Li Jijiu, who is inside, and ladies from noble families, such as the Yongqing Marquis Mansion that Jiang has longed for. , those who came today are the eldest wife of the Yongqing Hou Mansion, Mrs. Sun, and her daughter, the second maiden of the Hou Mansion, Meng Yijiao, as well as the third lady, Shen Shi, and the fourth maiden of the Hou Mansion, Meng Yijing.
It is finally open for business. I wish Mingshang Pavilion good luck with its opening. I wish Miss Geng Wu and Miss Zhu a lot of money and all their wishes come true!
